Talk on energy-saving tips at Rotary meeting
The Rotary Club of Brisbane Water will hear a talk on energy-saving tips for home or business at its meeting on Thursday this week, March 7.
Guest speaker for the meeting at the Ettalong Diggers Club will be Mr Sean Richardson from Umina Community Group, which recently held a workshop with energy-saving experts about saving money while reducing your carbon footprint.
Club secretary Ms Di Bartok said Mr Richardson would talk about the community group's "smart energy sessions", who the experts were, and hints he had picked up along the way.
"He also will be talking about Umina Community Group, which formed 10 years ago, and projects they have worked on, including dune care and lobbying Central Coast Council for community facilities."
After the group's recent session on Wednesday, February 21 (pictured), Mr Richardson told Ms Bartok: "About a third of the attendees were interested in saving money in their homes and businesses and a third were concerned about their carbon footprint.
"People want to save energy but don't know where to start.
"Solar doesn't suit everyone, as I found when I couldn't put solar on my house.
"But there are other practical solutions people can use.
"Our sessions bring experts in the field to give those practical solutions."
Ms Bartok said: "To find out more, join us at 6.30pm for 7pm in the Diggers Ettalong function room.
"You'll find us a welcoming crowd."
